Going to up-date this post as we’ve yet to hear from “The Collective”. (insert pluric hasn’t chimed in on this one)

I’m ready to buy and I’d like a bit of information if available.

That's my bike in the photo. I've no experience with the double row LED lights.
I will say I'm really happy with the 6" light bar shown. Very bright white light.
Highly recommend and fits the Tenere like it was made for it.

Right then all you yanks, eyes down and look in, it's time to help some crusty old Bits out.

Mr & MRS (i.e. no 'broke back' malarky) Old Git are coming to America next year. We intend to arrive at New York mid April and exit via Mexico to South America around mid September.

As all daft Brits do, we are visiting Prudhoe Bay and I am asking what would be the earliest that 2 oldies could cope with the Dalton, bearing in mind that we will already have traversed the Northern US ?? I just do not want to get there only to find that the snow is still down or so cold that us oldies will die of hypothermia.

I do appreciate that timings are subject to weather fluctuations, I just want some idea if it is feasible.

And yes Pluric, Salt Lake is on the list ! We just do not know when.

Answers on a post card marked "FAO Santa Clause" please.

I need some rolling time so I can post some decent piccys on this thread.

You've got a place on the north side of DC if you want. Budget enough "down" days to enjoy the trip. Crossing our Great Plains is an excuse to get an Iron Butt plate and you may consider flying the Mrs ahead to meet you in Denver.

June "should" be fine, but be ready for anything. Denali is seldom seen, due to clouds and weather. This June, we found Glacier National Park's "Road to the Sun" still closed for snow removal, road through it in Yellowstone, and had this near Mt. Rainier in Washington State:

I have a back seat driver that watches Ice Road Truckers (!) hence the romance of the Dalton and Prudhoe.

Dempster is my preference. Feels more remote, the route is totally unpaved with far less traffic I like the scenery better, there are two free ferries and the road ends in a town instead of an oil camp. River and air trips are available to remote villages. June 21 is National Aboriginal day a festival with native dancing food and exhibits. Two years ago it was sunny and 28C on June 21.

I've done them both. If you can't do both either one is still a great experience. Does the Mrs also watch Ice Pilots NWT

The Dempster is" way more" remote, The road of a life time!
The Dalton gets you to the Arctic Ocean though.
